You want to pick some more recent stats like his previous 2 months of play?

Feb - 6 GP .867 sv% 4.16GAA
March 9 GP .873 sv% 3.11GAA

For example in March, Pickard has a .910 with a 2.79 in 8GP.

Theres a reason people dont constantly pile on the backup goalie whos paid 40% of what Skinner is.

Why are we even talking about Skinner?
This was a good win, Pickard played well, so did a lot of guys.

 

[Ibanez]

I think when Ekholm is back the bottom pair is Kulak-Stecher. Emberson can’t hang

That was a great win - just what the doctor ordered

Emberson might need more cooking

We saw the skill early in the year. Might just be in over his head right now.

D man don’t always grow in straight lines. Hopefully we can get a small contract with him to see what we can do with more development

I’m just glad we have Stetcher and Klingberg to keep him down in the playoffs honestly.

Nope your blind hatred is showing, hes been good against the Knights in his last five starts against them. .912 was his lowest save percentage in those games, maybe the boys in front of him could have scored some goals.

I don’t have a blind hatred against Skinner. I’m just sick of his shitty goaltending costing us games this year.

If he would play better, I would give him all the credit in the world. Sometimes you’ve gotta call a spade a spade.

 

[FlameChampion]

Dorofeyev 1st star. Typical Vegas bs. Surprised we even got 2 of the stars. What a dumb franchise.

 

[Shanahanigans]

Stat of the day- Oilers are 34-1-2 with above .900 goaltending. That’s incredible.

 

[ThePhoenixx]

I knew I had a good feeling about tonight.

Pickard played very well.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Those last two are likely a net positive

Yeah. In what universe is missing Stu Skinner an actual problem.

For me not seeing him makes the games a whole lot more enjoyable.

And kinda sad lol

that's f***ing insane

 

[Soundwave]

It's an absurd stat, lol. They should be running away with the president's trophy if the team wasn't run by bozos.

 

[McHelpus]

They probably fly to San Jose tomorrow so tonight is going to be alot of team bonding in Vegas lol

 

[Bryanbryoil]

The team did great weathering the storm late in the 3rd. The Knights still had some really good chances, but they did enough to earn the W.

 

[FiveFourteenSixOne]

Well yeah...other teams score on the f***ing empty net.

 

[MessierThanThou]

that's f***ing insane

We'd be comfortably in first right now if we acquired Blackwood.

 

[KCC]

I’m going to cry if management has Stu starting the playoffs. Pickard is so much better it’s not even funny anymore. His lateral movement, rebound control and poise is fantastic. Yeah, he has the odd bad game but night in and night out he truly has been giving the team a chance.

You were fine with Pickard s$%ting the bed against the Kraken, yet you bash Skinner at every turn.

Prepare the tissues brother

I’m guessing the players feel the same

Oilers with a huge win in Vegas and somebody is mad that Pickard was once again very good in this game and has a 19-8-1 record, unlike the other guy...

Pickard has been pulled only once, ever, his whole time here but you'll be talking about that one game for the rest of the season.

Sorry Mrs Skinner, it’s just business, nothing personal

 

[Drivesaitl]

I’m guessing the players feel the same

Considering Drai has said it at least 3X in post games, yep.
